Guess what?!?! I’m finally sewing again :) I decided it was time to do my own version of the Tidens Toj Round Gown. I didn’t follow the pattern, but I used it as inspiration and drafted/ draped my own version. I also decided not to do the massive amounts of embroidery on the hem line. Here are a few pics of the progress, enjoy!

The original gown.

The back of my version. I draped a piece of fabric onto the lining, pleated and sewed the pleats down. Then I trimmed away the excess

The finished back with the pleats sewn down to the lining.

The front.

A few from the side. It won’t give the most slimming line, because if the high back, but I still love it :)
